Ask HN: What's blocking mass adoption of event streaming patterns in tech?
Digital consumers expect personalized experiences with relevant information and insights on demand.

We all know that a connected digital ecosystem that is almost always on requires a decent implementation of event driven architecture.

Sure it is complex. But the alternatives are convenient in the short term.

What is stopping the commoditization of distributed event streaming patterns with all of the digital innovation that has come about in the last 10 years.

Is it merely the complexity? Is it change resistance? Is it something else?
I don't really see how that helps you when you're trying to modify a SPA. As soon as you try to use JavaScript to modify anything, you need to figure out how to run that JS after whatever framework has finished rendering.

Usually that's using mutation observers or by adding super short animations and listening for animation end events. Both are annoying to use _and_ result in a slight jank where the wrong thing flashes for a split second if you're doing large layout changes.

The advantage of using CSS is that after you inject it, everything happens synchronously, so there are no rendering glitches.

Another direction to look at this: College (and grad school) is a protected time to poke around knowledge and career disciplines and learn to interact with people and build an initial network of people that you have some measure of. Often these people are other students - not all from your year, but they should also be professors, anyone who will talk to you, local or not. It is possible this city and school are failing you. It is possible you are failing (reflection elsewhere about "everyone is an idiot").

You do mention "I haven't met anyone else who is ambitious". If that includes older students, academic departments, professors, school activists, nearby businesses, then yeah you might have hit the jackpot and it might be time to move (to another school).

> Believe me when I tell you that productivity wise, a guy reformatting 5 computers at once in an hour flat is lapping anyone who is spending multiple hours per computer running those scanners and tinkering setting by setting.

You don't need multiple hours; that's my point. Hardware check (which you need to do in any case) + autoruns were all you needed in most cases.

I spent close to four years doing this as my full-time job. Our standard rate was €40 (a lot less than your $100 for a reinstall). We didn't go bankrupt.
Tesla's definition of a site being 100% up is at least half the plugs working on a given day. If 50% of the plugs are working then Tesla deems the site to be 100% up.

So 99.95% uptime sounds better than it is.
On the one hand, this is something I also hope LLMs will be able to do.

On the other hand, it seems to be something LLMs are particularly bad at. There are many similar but subtly different concepts. People use the same words for different concepts and different words for the same concepts. Every paper invents new terminology. And there is often very little written material available.

If what you’re saying was true (which I doubt) the responsibility will still fall on Musk, both for having let the situation go on for as long as it did and for laying off all the workers with absolutely no contingency plan.
So 10K ton is the deadweight tonnage, not the capacity. According to[0] (a better source?) this little fella has a capacity of 700 TEU. The largest ships in the world (MSC Irina, MSC Loreto) have a TEU of 24,346, the largest COSCO ships are 21,413. New Panamax are 10,000-14,500 TEU.

"Container ships under 3,000 TEU are typically called feeders. In some areas of the world, they might be outfitted with cargo cranes."[1]

Yeah but you would be constrained basically to a subset of .NET, as it is no longer a native language but a .NET language, so it's not like you'll be JITting huge Rust applications (where compile time is actually high).

There are online Rust compilers and interpreters already if you just want to rapid prototype and develop ideas in Rust
In other words - the real reason people reject you is because they don't like you.

That's true of most things in life.

Isn't it the Federal Arbitration Act from 1926 that is largely responsible for the current state of forced arbitration in the US? If Congress wants to remove that I don't see how the Supreme Court would be able to find a way to say that they cannot.
Seems so. That it has left their agreements with other car companies in some peril seems to have been an insane move to take, imo.

This is why I'm for total deregulation of healthcare. Government fucks it up so bad hamstringing access that some hack work with 15 minutes of YouTube training plus whatever pills drop out the dark web is often better than not being able to access it at all.

Right now we basically end up going to Mexico if we can help it, where there's basically no real oversight or regulation to raise cost so long as the doc/pharmacy pays off the cartels.

I'm feeling it's not the full story here. Presumably it shouldn't be extremely hard to produce a wheelchair, right? So why aren't there more people trying to get in this business?
Attributing casualties from a dam break as energy-related is a stretch. The vast majority of dams are built for flood control. Energy production just helps pay the bills. It's not the 'purpose' of the dam.

It reminds me of the saying: "The problem with the asshole-genius trope is it is much easier to emulate being an asshole then it is to emulate being a genius."
I wonder why is Microsoft doing this now? They had blithely ignored security for many years. Their products have been insecure by default as long as I can remember.
For windows you go into the firewall settings and either set a deny rule for a specific executable or even set the default behavior to deny.

For linux there's a couple ways of setting up a process group that can't access your network.

I'm not very familiar with other OSes.

Why do you ask? Isolation between processes can be difficult on non-phone operating systems, but removing permissions tends to be quite easy.

Yes “passkeys” is a marketing term that refers to the consumer oriented subset of webauthn. You can colloquially refer to an individual key pair as a passkey, when used in this context.
The author answers the "why" in the FAQ https://github.com/FractalFir/rustc_codegen_clr?tab=readme-o.... I didn't find it very convincing but I'm sure the author will learn a lot of neat things along the way.

> You realize that "Free Palestine" is not going to be a safe place for gay people or anyone else.

Yes, I realize that! We've royally fucked the entire region by supporting terrorist organizations, and by supporting genocidal conquest of Palestine. I think they really have strongly-motivated reason to hate the US, UK, Israel and more; but also, the arms that we provided to religious extremists have entrenched that.

With the IDF bombing playgrounds full of children, does it matter one whit if those kids are gay? You say Palestine won't be safe for anyone -- is it safe for anyone under Israel's current policy?

Get the boot off of Palestine's neck. That's the freedom we're asking for. People love humanitarian aid, when it's done right. Progress can be made. But Israel's current approach is genocide. And that's just as wrong as when it was Nazis throwing you and me in concentration camps.
University language schools had many discussions about how google translate and friends effected how, and what, they should teach — now they are having more talks and discussions about how ChatGPT effects things.

Are you maybe just in tech circles, not academic language circles?
Very interesting! Thank you so much

I was always under the impression that the max blob size was 400mb and so you couldn't store files any bigger than that. Google gives so many different answers to these questions.

Do you know any other resources I can go more in depth on browser storage limits?
The move is so irrational that that admittedly gossip explaination makes perfect sense.

It is like watching some cartoonish dictatorship cleaning ranks.
Regulations should be voluntary and exist in a market with options.

I want a market where I can choose a highly regulated healthcare system or a system with no regulations and a system somewhere in between.
Sustainable Shift: 1 in 4 would take a pay cut for a sustainability role
my experience is that papers that lay the foundations for a whole field are usually very approachable. i'm not sure why this is:

- maybe being better at breaking new intellectual ground requires some kind of ability that can also be applied to explaining things? like maybe some people are just smarter than others, either inherently or as a result of their training and experience, in a way that generalizes to both tasks

- maybe the things that most strongly impede people from breaking new intellectual ground also impede them from explaining them clearly? candidates might include emotional insecurity, unthinking devotion to tradition, and intellectual vanity (wanting to look right rather than be right)

- maybe the people who suck at explaining their own ideas don't get access to the cutting-edge developments that they would need to break new intellectual ground? shannon had the great good fortune, for example, to spend a lot of the war at bell labs conducting cryptanalysis, rather than sleeping under a dunghill on the battlefield or on the assembly line making artillery shells
I’ve had a project I’ve been doing for ~6 months learning python through Copilot+ChatGPT. It feels like any other project that accrues technical debt, but that debt is just a lot weirder. It was rough at first, but refactoring has gotten a lot better recently with bigger context sizes.
> Because if they are terrible people they are most likely terrible at their jobs as well.

This is childish. There is barely any correlation between niceness and professionalism.

Even more than that - politics implies tough decisions and a lot of pressure from all sides. There is literally no use for niceness in politics.

Except pleasing naive voters.

One of plenty of well known examples is Steve Jobs. I bet if he was a nice guy, we’d still suffer with those awful windows CE handhelds :)

If this results in Tesla superchargers degrading to the level of the typical US charging network, EVs are in for some (more) pain.

No. EV adoption is an important goal for the car industry's survival.

If we're talking about the species' survival, I sure hope we can adopt a broader vision than taking a land-hungry and energy-intensive mode of transport, and changing nothing about it except for making it run on batteries.
Can’t one compile Rust to WASM, and use Blazor for .NET to WASM, so end up with both in the WASM world?

> A hundred percent positive. Maybe Poland was viewed with some reservations, but with Czech, Baltic states and Croatia there was no cloud of doubt. Each one of these had patron states inside EU who would spend effort to ensure their entrance. Poland they mostly got as a land bridge and because of its patron USA.

That is not a very widely shared view, to put it mildly. Memoirs of Eastern European statesmen, diplomats and other officials, as well as business representatives are littered with stories how they were laughed out of the room when they raised the topic of EU and NATO membership in early-to-mid 1990s. The prevalent vision was the so-called "multi-speed Europe"[1] with Western European members maintaining their tight integration and newer members getting some form of a diluted access to the common market.

The fact that Eastern European countries became full members of the EU and NATO in 15 years without any restrictions is considered one of the most impressive diplomatic achievements in those countries, odds of which were considered fairly low in the early days.

Ukraine is currently in a similar situation. While they have lots of sympathy, Ukraine is nevertheless a large country with lots of social and economic issues (now amplified by the war), and the EU is hesitant about fast integration out of fear that those issues could spill over into the EU. Through Macron, even the concept of "multi-speed Europe" has returned to circulation.[2]

> Seriously though, why does anybody has to swallow pride in order to enter bilateral relations?

Because it is Russia, not anyone else, who has the delusion of being a great empire that deserves preferential treatment. If you are interested in EU integration, then there's a proven path to that goal. If you are too proud to take that path, then good luck underperforming for another century. The positive effects of EU's common market are well known, and above all it's your loss if boyars keep you out of it because Europeans don't bow down deep enough in front of them.
From the current casing I want to clarify that this is "sim" as in simulation, not as in SIM card. (Made me click.)

Private transportation will always be unsustainable, regardless of power source. More ambitious goals are necessary.

You can't learn to play the guitar by reading books about it, or watching YouTube videos, or reading sheet music, or getting "personalized AI tips".

You can only learn to play the guitar by picking it up and spending a lot of time mucking about with it. There's a bit more to it, but this is really the core: you need to play and get that muscle memory and "feeling" for it. You need to "rewire your brain".

Coding, or any other skill for that matter, is no different. The only way to learn to code is to actually write code. Even if you fully understand anything ChatGPT gives you (which most students probably don't), that's no substitute for actually writing the code yourself.

I don't see how it's not hugely harmful for the development of students and junior programmers to use AI. Even if these tools were perfect (which they're not), you need to develop these basic skills of learning to read the code. You need to make mistakes and end up with crummy unmaintainable code, and realize what you did wrong. Etc. etc.

Even for senior programmers I'm not so convinced AI tools are actually all that beneficial in the long run.

Only when AI systems will be able to fully understand entire systems and full context and can completely replace human programmers will that change. I'd estimate that's at least 50 years off, if not (significantly) longer. Anything before that: you need someone who fully understands the code and context, in depth.
The need to electrify the economy is why nuclear is so bad, it simply can't compete on cost even.

This article is about a power plant that cost £46Billion and nameplate of 3260 MW

Assuming 100% load factor for the plant (looks like 70-80% is more common but I'll be generous) that's 28,557,600MWh per year. Or a cost of £1610 per MWh per year.

Taking just one of the latest wind farm in UK South Kyle Wind Farm, Cost £38Million with a nameplate of 240MW.

Assuming 10% load factor (30% is common but I'll be pessimistic for this case).

That's 210,240MWh per year,(2400.1 24 * 365) that's £180 per MWh per year,
(Life span differences of wind(30 year expected) vs nuclear(40-60) could increase the cost of the wind by up to double if you took the worst case but I've already given a 3x disadvantage on load factor)
Even with the deck stacked in nuclear's favour it's 10x more expensive than wind, you will simply never migrate a factory using thermal gas with the cost of electricity made by nuclear.

Edit: also Flamanville 3 in france costs are better but still so much worse than wind, 13billion Euro(~11Billion GBP) for 1600MW nameplate, comes out for 713gbp per MWh per year, still 3x worse than wind.

New people? Do you honestly think they have replaced an entire team in the few days since firing the last one? Only people in the building able to log into the project management system are likely Elon and the sysadmins.
From a friend who is a Navy engineer this is apparently on purpose is done as a form of economic stimulus. Overpay 10x for things to support the local economy around the base.
My understanding about WASM is some things are not specc'ed out fully, so some things don't necessarily line up 100% and is up to implementation specifics or to be interpreted differently, you could have access to functions and such, but you'd have to ensure both implementations line up with the same understandings of returned types like strings involve some tricks that might not be 1:1 between languages compiled to WASM iirc.

Not saying it can't be done, just there might be nuance. I could be wrong though, its been a year or two since I ran through the WASM bytecode spec.

Yes, US has a lot of obvious things to do too right now. And it should be done, yes, while also paying full attention to quite large problems outside of US.

Curiously, how is Uber still in business? After losing tens of billions every single year they finally had their first year of profit at a whopping 1.83 million.

How can they possibly recover the near 100 billion they sunk on growth?
> I hate that you define a function in python with: def func(): ; in clojure with: (defn func []; and Haskell with: func = ; just as much now as anyone starting to explore an interest in building with technology.

That's just tradeoffs. Perfomance of C vs easiness of python, flexibility of lisp vs (rigidity?) of Java.

> I hate that to participate with the internet you need to know 3 programming languages:

You only need one (see Gemini protocol), CSS is for getting it pretty and Javascript is for some interactivity. We can probably concoct something in lisp to have only one language (jk). I think it's better to teach HTML first with style and script tags and attributes.

> Now perhaps one of these overly optimistic proselytizers of the llm teachers might say, “exactly, and we can use this tool to abstract that madness away.”

There's no madness. There's only engineering and business tradeoffs. You learn the paradigms, you learn how they map to the Von Neumann/Turing|Lambda Calculus|... machines and you're set. Now what's left is learning the libraries for existing solutions and interactions with other systems.

I agree that programming is not "using llm". Programming can be llm assisted (utility varies), just like it can be IDE assissted, snippet assisted, books and SO assisted.

I don't believe we've reached the Apex of programming. Society evolves and we will have new problems to solve. We still have not finished solving existing one.
Perhaps the wheelchair is considered a medical device and therefore has to go through more expensive safety tests and/or liability insurance?

Tesla looks to not be on a financially strong course and so they needed to make major cuts somewhere. Supercharger network is probably okay for now.

Just a shame they continue to bet their company on Robotaxi for which there is no evidence will be a good business even if the technology works.

They need to focus more on refreshing their existing models and overall better customer satisfaction.
Could it be that Elon didn't appreciate that the head of the Tesla supercharger division had gotten other car companies to adopt the Tesla charger standard? Basically helping other competitor car companies tap into the Tesla network?
Unfortunately it’s for my work so not currently public. One chunk of it which I would love to open source sometime, is basically just TRANSPORT but modern Python. Despite being a million years old, just second order matrix-style beam optics is actually still a really useful place to start for a lot of stuff. And with it all differentiable, one can do way more kinds of interesting optimisations.

What’s interesting is that the old Fortran source code for TRANSPORT is still out there if one digs, and most of it is taken up by thousands of lines of code that (1) implement a bunch of matrix multiplication that is now just one call to “jnp.einsum()“, and (2) implementing a tedious by-hand differentiation of those same calculations, in a few parameters, which is now basically inferior to just one call to “jax.grad()”. It’s amazing how modern tools can make hard stuff truly trivial.
